And herein lies the truth; and the truth has begun to set me free, the truth enables me every day to become more alive, more present, more joyful, to live a vivid life. Not without pain or suffering but with the understanding that amongst it all, who I am and to facilitate, to explore it all, to go to the depths of inquiry to find that place that has no past, no future, the guiding light.
I don’t believe in hocus pocus and I do (Jury’s out). It’s a constant struggle with me. Wounded and distorted by the New Age movement or what my dear friend Jeff Brown calls “New Cage”. I have grown skeptical and even quite cynical of anything that suggests hocus pocus.

Are you exhausted with it all? The constant dress rehearsal for a future that doesn’t belong to you.
One that in spite of all the suffering; the long nights, the early mornings, the daunting drives, the cubicle, the ego driven bully boss, to live a life that’s comfortable in the future. A future you might never even make it to.
I LOVE this. Because I like to smoke sometimes and I have been shamed for it, and told it causes cancer… but so does worrying about it (stress) I do…
Photo by Michael Shannon Most recently I have really been challenged with the thought of who “likes” and or supports me and who doesn’t. It’s not a new thought, but it’s…

Our conditioning runs so deep. Being defined by what we do, how busy we are, how much we’ve accomplished. We get so wrapped up in doing we forget about being and being is who we are.
In an all-new episode, Oprah Winfrey sits down with New York Times bestselling author Mitch Albom to celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of the best-selling memoirs of all time, “Tuesdays With Morrie” on an all-new episode of “Super Soul Sunday”
I was listening to a podcast this morning on anxiety, the stigma, and the people who are brave enough to speak up. I also happened to watch a video that’s…
As we evolved as human beings our thoughts became more and more complex, as did everything else.
So we all have a desire to be seen. To know that we’re being listened to, that we matter. It’s part of the human condition. Condition(ing) being the key.
I just woke up, my head is pounding, the sound of construction and the debris it tosses around is filling my sinuses with dirt and I just want to take…

Things have been a little heavy lately; emotions are running high, longer commutes for affordable housing, less pay more work, family tensions on the rise, and your news feed is filled with political doom and gloom. The shift has hit the fan, the underbelly has been revealed and it’s time for us “warriors of the light” to step up our game.
It’s time for yet another shift and it’s going to take a whole lot of courage from people like you and I to make it happen. It may cost you (us) best seller status, industry friends or followers but it’s worth it because you will gain yourself. Are you with me?

It’s 10AM, I’ve had three coffees, sent my husband off to work, and I am still sitting here in my underwear feeling rather emotional and defeated. It’s been grey and rainy here for the better part of spring, and now summer, and after a really long miserable winter, both weather wise and personal, I have had just about enough.
These words are packed with such truth. There’s a reason they hit you right in the gut, or perhaps bring tears to your eyes. No matter how many times I listen to the song I feel the feels, I shed the tears, I give myself the time to “be still and know” that I don’t need to do or be anything to be better. I am better, I am good and none of that depends on anything outside of me.
This is life as Jesus, Muhammad, Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu, and of course Buddha and many others described. But why after thousands of years and thousands of teachers have shown us “the way” are we still wrapped up in our egos, perpetuating the way that creates the most suffering and resisting “the way” to freedom?
